Devouring: Starting with an innate sacred body and Dao embryo

Chapter 42 The Alluring Bodyguards, Inside the War God Palace

The Australian region is extremely far from the Hongning base city; even by passenger plane, it takes several hours to travel there.

However, Jiang Chen activated the Flowing Light Sword and flew back in less than half an hour.

Upon arriving at the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy in Hongning Base City, Jiang Chen had just stepped inside when a woman with a hot figure, wearing a black robe and a gold mask, approached him.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang Chen, I am Yao Rao, a personal guard of Master Hong. Master Hong specifically asked me to wait for you here and personally hand over the items to you for the transaction."

Although she was wearing a mask, one could still vaguely tell that she was quite beautiful. Her captivating eyes secretly observed Jiang Chen, revealing a myriad of charms.

Not long ago on Fog Island, she witnessed Jiang Chen taking action against Mo Yun Teng.

Anyone would be curious about such a young genius who has broken through to the planetary level and even condensed a domain.

"Don't worry about those things for now. First, help me get rid of these monster materials."

Jiang Chen pointed behind him to the backpack of the Black God Suit, which bulged several meters high.

"Monster materials, could it be...?"

Yao Rao looked at the backpack behind Jiang Chen and couldn't help but speculate.

"That's right, it's a King-level monster, the Flying Griffin. I just killed it. Help me dispose of it and sell it. Also, update my strength title. My previous strength title was only Advanced Warrior, which didn't even allow me to join the War God Palace."

Jiang Chen and Yao Rao arrived at the headquarters and first sold off the materials from the King-level monster.

The materials from this flying griffin sold for over 100 billion, and also added an extra 100 million contribution points.

"The master knows that you haven't joined the War God Palace yet, so he specifically asked me to make preparations."

Inside the room, Yao Rao opened a metal box, revealing a consciousness-sensing helmet inside.

"I have already informed the Master of your arrival. He is already inside the War God Palace, waiting for you, Mr. Jiang Chen."

"The room next door is a safe house. Mr. Jiang Chen, you can put on your helmet there and head to the War God Palace. I'll be waiting for you there."

"Brother Hong actually waited for me specially, making it quite a grand affair."

Jiang Chen shook his head and chuckled, picked up the consciousness-sensing helmet, walked to the room next door, locked the door, and set the helmet to a safe distance.

Once the consciousness-sensing helmet is put on, it will put you into a virtual space, and your physical body in the real world will be in great danger if it is attacked at this time.

By setting a safe distance, he will immediately snap out of his virtual state as soon as anyone gets close to him.

Although with Jiang Chen's current physical strength, even the attacks of the peace envoys were powerless against him.

But being more careful is always better.

"Welcome, Councilor Jiang Chen."

As soon as I entered the virtual space, a mechanical electronic voice suddenly rang out.

Jiang Chen looked around; he was currently inside a house.

The house is over a thousand square meters in size and is extremely luxurious, with a living room, kitchen, bedroom, study, swimming pool, and meditation room, among other things.

This is his private residence in the virtual space, and no one else can enter except himself or his authorized friends.

"not bad."

Jiang Chen nodded, looking at the sky outside. Just like in reality, the sun hung high, clouds and mist swirled, refracting rainbow light, a breathtaking sight.

The virtual space is so realistic that it is completely identical to reality, yet it is also full of fantastical beauty, which is quite wonderful.

He stepped onto solid ground and walked out of the room.

Outside the door, Yao Rao also arrived in the virtual space, standing at the entrance, waiting quietly.

Upon seeing Jiang Chen emerge, she smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang Chen, please follow me."

Jiang Chen followed Yao Rao through the corridor and arrived outside the War God Palace.

Hong and Thor were standing in the lobby on the first floor, surrounded by councilors who were above the level of the God of War.

Thousands of war gods also gathered here, huddled together in small groups, discussing the matter.

"Why has the First Speaker gone to such lengths to summon us all here?"

"I heard someone has reached a level beyond the God of War, and the First Speaker is here specifically to welcome him."

"This can't be right. Although becoming a councilor who surpasses the God of War level is remarkable, it's nothing special for the First Speaker. In the past, when someone broke through to the level of the God of War, the First Speaker never made such a big fuss."

"Who knows! Maybe something's different this time?"

"Big brother, is what you're saying true? Jiang Chen really has broken through to the planetary level and even possesses a domain. His strength even makes you feel extremely dangerous."

Thor stood next to Hong, listening to what Hong had just said with an incredulous expression.

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Hong glanced at Thor with an indifferent expression.

"But this is too unbelievable! The last time I met Jiang Chen, his strength was only at the War God level. How could he have undergone such a tremendous change in just over three months?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Thor recalled that a few months ago, when he met Jiang Chen, he wanted to take him as his disciple, but now Jiang Chen's strength might have already surpassed his.

After all, even Hong sensed the danger posed by Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen also possessed a domain.

"You'll find out just how strong Jiang Chen really is in a moment."

Hong watched as Jiang Chen, led by a seductive woman, entered the hall, and then walked over.

"Jiang Chen, your strength is sufficient to serve as the Speaker of the War God Palace. I hope you will not decline."

After greeting Jiang Chen, Hong looked around and announced loudly, "This gentleman beside me is Jiang Chen, the newly promoted expert surpassing the God of War level, who is nineteen years old this year!"

"What? He's only nineteen years old and has already surpassed the God of War level? What incredible talent!"

"At nineteen years old, he has surpassed the level of a War God, which is unprecedented in the entire world. His future is limitless, and it is no wonder that the First Speaker personally welcomed him."

The thousands of war gods and dozens of councilors inside the War God Palace were in an uproar.

After a while, they all clapped and gave Jiang Chen a friendly smile.

Jiang Chen also glanced around, smiling and nodding frequently.

"Don't underestimate Jiang Chen just because he's young and has only just broken through to the level of War God. He already possesses a domain, and even I might not be his match."

Hong continued, and his words once again caused a stir among the surrounding crowd.

"A domain! He actually possesses a domain? This is impossible!"

"Even the Second Speaker, Thor, hasn't even entered the Domain Realm yet, and Jiang Chen has only just broken through to surpass the War God level, yet he already possesses a Domain!"

"Did I hear that right? Hong actually said he might not be a match for Jiang Chen either? Am I dreaming?"

The people present had different feelings; some were shocked, while others found it hard to believe.

At this moment, Hong pressed a remote control, and a projection appeared behind him, showing Jiang Chen fighting against Moyun Teng on Fog Island.

At first, the four councilors were helpless against Moyunteng, and even suffered injuries.

Later, Jiang Chen took action, unleashing his domain and easily defeating and subduing the Mo Yun Vine.

"Even I would have to put in a lot of effort to defeat Mo Yun Teng, but Jiang Chen did it so easily and comfortably. His strength is indeed much greater than mine."

Upon seeing the scene projected onto the screen, Thor's gaze toward Jiang Chen became serious.

After watching the projected scene, everyone else looked at Jiang Chen with awe in their eyes.
